What if a cancer diagnosis became the beginning of a more empowered way of living? 

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Laura Lummer shares her journey as a two-time breast cancer survivor, including her 2020 diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

Laura opens up about the shock of being diagnosed despite living a health-conscious life, the difficult realities of conventional treatment, and the mindset shift that changed everything: moving from fighting cancer to supporting her body’s ability to heal.

Through an integrative approach, deeper self-trust, and a commitment to joy, healing, and advocacy, Laura discovered a new way forward. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is personal, empowerment matters, and hope is always worth holding onto.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Sakiko Reuterskiöld, founder of NOMOSU, the world’s first taste-award-winning, no-sugar confectionery company. With a Master’s in Personalized Nutrition and deep training in biochemical and metabolic science, Sakiko has dedicated her career to understanding sugar’s impact on the body — and proving that healthy, delicious sweetness is possible.

Sakiko shares how her own health transformation began when she removed sugar and discovered the profound shift in energy, clarity, and well-being that followed. But giving up sugar didn’t mean giving up chocolate — instead, it inspired years of research into taste receptors, intestinal function, and the microbiome that led to NOMOSU’s innovative, gut-supportive sweetening system.

Together, she and Dr. Nasha unpack why modern sugar intake fuels inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, uric acid imbalance, and cancer risk; why fructose is uniquely damaging; and why so many “natural” sweeteners behave like sugar in the body. Sakiko explains how virgin stevia extract, paired with specific natural compounds, can mimic sugar’s taste and texture without the metabolic cost — and may even improve microbiota diversity and intestinal barrier function.

This conversation reframes everything we think we know about sweetness. If you’ve struggled to reduce sugar, felt confused about sweeteners, or wondered whether a truly healthy treat exists, this episode offers clarity, science, and hope.

Nitric oxide has been called the “miracle molecule”—yet most people, including many clinicians, have no idea how essential it is for cardiovascular health, immunity, metabolism, cognition, and longevity. In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world’s leading nitric oxide researchers and a pioneer in molecular medicine. With more than 20 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Bryan has made many of the seminal discoveries that shaped what we now know about nitric oxide biology. His patented technologies, clinical research, and nitric oxide-based therapeutics have transformed patient care worldwide and generated more than a billion dollars in product sales. Today, he leads Bryan Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing nitric oxide–based drugs for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetic ulcers, and more.

Dr. Bryan shares insights from his early laboratory discoveries, the challenges of bringing disruptive science to medicine, and why restoring nitric oxide may be the missing foundation in modern healthcare.

What if one of the most powerful tools for repair, resilience, and longevity isn’t a drug or a device—but the smallest molecule in the universe? In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Matt (Mateo) Johnson, founder of Axiom H2, to explore the science and clinical potential of molecular hydrogen therapy.

A former competitive athlete turned hydrogen specialist, Mateo has spent over a decade advancing medical-grade hydrogen technology, working with aerospace-level European R&D engineers to create some of the most precise, stable, and effective hydrogen delivery systems in the world.

Together, they unpack the real science of hydrogen:

• Why molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant

• How its tiny size allows it to reach the mitochondria, brain, and DNA

• The difference between hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water & Brown’s gas

• What current research reveals about oxidative stress, inflammation & mitochondrial dysfunction

• Why hydrogen may support cognition, recovery, metabolic health, and long-COVID symptoms

• How athletes, aging adults & those with chronic illness are using it safely and effectively

If you’re curious about longevity, mitochondrial repair, cellular resilience, or cutting-edge wellness tech, this episode will expand your thinking about what hydrogen can do for human health.

What if you could block your sugar cravings at the source—and retrain your metabolism to crave health instead of glucose spikes? 🍭

In this eye-opening episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Sander Brus, founder and CEO of NoSu Health, to explore how a breakthrough herbal technology may help us finally escape the grip of sugar addiction. Combining modern metabolic science with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, Sander shares how his company’s product, Sweet Shield, uses plant compounds like Gymnema sylvestre—known as “the sugar destroyer”—to blunt sweet taste receptors, flatten glucose spikes, and rewire cravings from the inside out.

They dive into the real science of sugar and the sweet taste receptor, uncovering why our modern food environment keeps us hooked, what happens when you retrain your taste buds, and how metabolic flexibility is the true key to longevity and energy. The conversation also takes a personal turn as Sander shares how his mother’s cancer journey shaped his mission to make metabolic health accessible to everyone.

If you’ve ever struggled with cravings, energy crashes, or blood sugar swings, this episode will change how you see your body—and your relationship with sweetness—forever.

What if the root cause of heart disease isn’t cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction?

In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn’t a plumbing problem — it’s a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn’t fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia’s mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.

In this illuminating episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Jane Hogan, known as The Wellness Engineer — a woman who transformed her own crippling rheumatoid arthritis into a catalyst for deep healing and purpose. After reversing her pain naturally, Jane left behind a 30-year engineering career to help thousands of others rewire their relationship with pain through science, breath, and self-compassion. Blending functional medicine, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, Jane teaches that pain isn’t just a physical condition — it’s the body’s way of asking for safety. Together, we explore how to move beyond management into true transformation by calming the nervous system and reclaiming your power as the engineer of your own healing. Jane’s story is living proof that chronic pain can become the very teacher that leads us back to wholeness. Her message is both scientific and soulful — that healing doesn’t come from fighting the body, but from teaching it how to feel safe again.

If you’ve ever been told your pain is permanent, this conversation will help you see it through a new lens — one of hope, empowerment, and possibility.
